“We Went to Olivia’s last night for Father’s Day celebration. We had one of the Best experience- food was delicious, very nice atmosphere in the restaurant that I always founded as a huge plus , service was great! Our server Emina made our dinner even more memorable- she is so attentive, knowledgeable with nice easy going personality . We definitely will be back very soon!”
“Went there last night just for a drink and we decided to eat there. One of the best last minute decisions I’ve made. The food was mega, drinks pretty good and our waitress/bartenders were amazing. I would totally go back without a doubt!”
“The food here is amazing! We had a reservation right when they opened and it was already surprisingly busy. Our server was very friendly and explained the specials and answers all of our questions. The food was incredible- I personally had the tagliatelle mushroom pasta and it was some of the best pasta I’ve ever had. The cocktails were tasty and very pretty, and all of the desserts were fantastic. The atmosphere was also nice with the open kitchen and separate bar area. We really enjoyed our time here and will definitely be back in the future!”
“Had dinner here with friends on a Saturday night. The host was very pleasant, greeted us, check our reservations and told us it would be 10 min before we could sit. He was right on time. The food was very good. Steamed Mussels, Bruschetta, and Beets Salad appetizers were really good. Bolognese, Eggplant, and Seafood main dishes were well executed and tasty. Service was prompt and unobtrusive. We will definitely be back. Plan to spend about $50-$70 per person.”
“Unfortunately, the experience did not fully meet my expectations. The steak was good, and some of the dishes were enjoyable, but the pizza was disappointing. For something that is supposed to represent a specific Italian region, it tasted quite ordinary and did not feel very special or memorable. I expected more flavor, better texture, and a more authentic experience. Overall, the food was decent, but in my opinion, it felt overrated for the price and reputation. It was not a bad meal, but it also was not something I would be excited to return for.”
